Nothing in the series says that Mundus and Sparda even knew eachother prior to their fight. If they were close Mundus doesn't seem to care much that a close friend betrayed him, he comes off as more pissed that Sparda kicked his ass and stopped his plans and sealed him away.

Lawful Evil characters tend to use law as a means to an evil end. Or enforce evil law. Sparda can't be both noble and evil, doesn't matter much because I looked through the episode and Modeus didn't say he was noble, but his opposition to the demon world didn't seem out of character from the way his apprentices talked of him. I would peg him as True Neutral until he "awoke to justice" and went Neutral Good I know that they were sealed. What I meant was, aside from designating them as Gatekeepers, Sparda probably spared them because he fought with them at one point since it was implied that at least Nevan had a flirty love-hate relationship with him. They're not friends but they're also not total enemies. This may also be the reason why Beowulf did not attack them; he probably thought the Gatekeepers weren't really loyal to Sparda.

As for this, you mentioned it yourself. There's a whole lot of nothing that we can go by on this. Though you make a fair point that Mundus might be mostly royally pissed at him for the defeat, but Mundus is evil and if Sparda thought they were brothers-in-arms at one point, Mundus may very well think he's just one of the many demons beneath him. My point is, all we can do is speculate on this until Capcom decides to fill us in on these gaps, which is why I'm hoping for Sparda material.

Isn't he Affably Evil...? Haha I'm kidding. Your explanation makes more sense than mine. Though we really wouldn't know until we get more Sparda-centered stuff. :)
